| This amazing new web tool lets you create microsites that exist solely as URLs Posted: 05 Jul 2018 03:08 PM PDT  Former Google designer Nicholas Jitkoff, who's now the vice president of design at Dropbox, has created a really nifty new web tool he's calling itty bitty sites, or self-contained microsites that exist solely as URLs. You can create your own by following this URL: itty.bitty.site. From there, you can fill the equivalent of about one printed 8.5 x 11-inch page with any combination of plain text, ASCII characters, or emojis. The actual byte limit depends on where you'd like to share it; Twitter and Slack allow for around 4,000 bytes, while the Mac version of Chrome can accommodate up to 10,000 bytes. The site isn't actually hosted anywhere — the entirety of the webpage exists as a URL compressed using what's known as the L... |
| Logan Paul is filming a documentary about his controversial 2018 Posted: 05 Jul 2018 02:27 PM PDT  Logan Paul may have ended his daily vlogs, but the YouTuber is joining the growing ranks of online personalities creating and starring in their own documentary series. In a recent vlog, Paul says that he's "actually filming a documentary about everything that's happened this year, all the stuff that went down in January, where I was at in my life and kind of the psyche of what actually happened." The coy mention of January is a reference to Paul's widely criticized choice to film a dead body he found in Japan's Aokigahara forest, colloquially known as the Suicide Forest. The move not only gained him worldwide notoriety, but also pushed YouTube as a platform to amend its site-wide policies. Following an apology tour, Paul released a... |
| Posted: 05 Jul 2018 02:22 PM PDT  We've known for a few months that Twitter is going to further limit third-party apps starting on August 16th when it rolls out some major API changes. But now we're starting to see the effects of those upcoming changes, starting with the popular third-party Twitter app Twitterific, which announced an update today preparing for the removal of two major features: push notifications and live-updating tweets (via 9to5Mac). Now, neither of those features is technically going anywhere yet. But with today's update, Twitterific is preparing for the eventual loss of the API that enabled them, by removing the ability to purchase push notifications in-app and adding a new automatic refresh function that should help mimic — if not completely replace... |
| Scott Pruitt out as head of the Environmental Protection Agency Posted: 05 Jul 2018 01:03 PM PDT  Scott Pruitt has resigned as the head of the Environmental Protection Agency, amid a slew of scandals involving everything from luxury travels to rampant conflicts of interest. Second-in-command Andrew Wheeler, a former coal lobbyist, will become acting director of the EPA come Monday, according to President Donald Trump. Since his appointment, Pruitt has come under fire for a growing number of scandals. He has been accused of spending way too much public money while traveling abroad, using two secret EPA email addresses, and having a chief of security who had heated confrontations with EPA officials who criticized Pruitt's lavish spending. He asked aides to help with personal favors, like helping his wife find work. Last year, E&E... |
| A revamped California net neutrality bill is moving forward again Posted: 05 Jul 2018 12:46 PM PDT  After it was viciously gutted last month, many observers thought California's net neutrality bill was a lost cause. But today, lawmakers announced that they'd reached an agreement to ensure that the legislation will move forward after all, and include tough regulatory provisions. Introduced in the wake of the FCC's rollback of net neutrality provisions, SB 822 and SB 460 reinstated the net neutrality rules outlined in the 2015 Open Internet Order, banned harmful zero-rating programs, and prohibited broadband providers from charging websites access fees. But before they could be passed into law, the bills were gutted in the... |
| MIT’s Cheetah 3 robot can run up stairs without watching its steps Posted: 05 Jul 2018 12:43 PM PDT  MIT's Cheetah 3 robot doesn't need to see to run up a set of stairs, a new video from MIT shows. Even without cameras to dodge obstacles by sight, the 90-pound robot is equipped with new algorithms that help it navigate its environment by touch. We've seen robots climb stairs before, like Boston Dynamics' adorable SpotMini. But Spot uses cameras. And the team behind the Cheetah 3 want it to operate without seeing the path in front of it; relying too much on vision could slow it down, or make it stumble. "What if it steps on something that a camera can't see? What will it do?" Sangbae Kim, a mechanical engineering professor at MIT who designed the robot, says in a news release. "That's where blind locomotion can help. We don't want to... |
| Microsoft may be making a Movies & TV app for iOS and Android Posted: 05 Jul 2018 12:31 PM PDT  Microsoft may be working on a Movies & TV app for iOS and Android, anonymous sources told Windows Central. Last October, Microsoft announced that Windows 10 mobile was effectively dead, and began making versions of its best Windows 10 apps for iOS and Android. Since then, Microsoft has promoted apps like its web browser Edge and the Microsoft Launcher, but left out apps like Movies & TV, which is only available on PC, Xbox, and Windows 10 Mobile browsers. If the app were to arrive on iOS and Android, it could compete against the likes of iTunes, Google Play Movies & TV, and other platforms. iTunes, in particular, has already demonstrated its popularity among Windows fans: before it arrived in Microsoft's Windows Store in April, it was... |
| Google finally updates its Inbox email app for the iPhone X Posted: 05 Jul 2018 11:30 AM PDT  After roughly nine months since Apple's full-screen iPhone X hit the market, Google has at last updated its Inbox email app to support the device. In a 144MB update pushed out on the App Store today, Google says Inbox now supports Apple's pricier iPhone variant, with little else by way of changes in the update text. Effectively, this update just removes the black bars on the top and bottom of the screen so it more naturally fits the iPhone X's display, with its funky 19.5:9 aspect ratio. For months now, users have been complaining about the lack of support, and Google acknowledged it was working on it back in April following the Gmail redesign. This isn't all about Google listening... |
| Apple shares new App Store stats ahead of its 10th anniversary Posted: 05 Jul 2018 11:17 AM PDT  Apple revealed several new numbers today in a report celebrating the App Store's 10th anniversary, which takes place on Friday, July 10th, including new details about subscription apps. ResearchKit and CareKit, Apple's software tools for doctors and medical researchers, are getting used in clinical trials for conditions including physical therapy, Parkinson's disease, and autism. The report notes that over 500 doctors and scientists have used the tools and 3 million people have participated in such trials. We now know that over 28,000 iOS apps offer subscriptions and users have subscribed for 95 percent more subscriptions than they did last year. When naming top subscription apps, Apple curiously placed Netflix and Chinese competitor... |
| DNA testing could reunite families at the US border — and fuel surveillance Posted: 05 Jul 2018 01:29 PM PDT  Update 4:25PM ET, July 5th 2018: Today, Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar told reporters that officials will take cheek swabs for DNA testing to reunite parents and children separated at the border, according to NBC News. HHS did not reply immediately to an emailed inquiry about who will be conducting the DNA tests. More than 2,000 children have been separated from their parents at the US border as a result of the White House's new "zero tolerance" policy, and immigration agencies seem to have no clear plan for reuniting them. In one case, a six-year-old's ability to remember her aunt's phone number became her only lifeline to her family. "Most children here aren't able to give names, much less a phone number," an... |
